Municipal Patriotism.


The voter who has come to claim for his indi-

judgment in national politics is still far too apt
to accept without hesitation the guidance of his
party machine' in State politics. while he looks
upon city politics as practically beneath his no
tice. He is affronted by the action of his
tional party, in any Of its attempts to control
the action of it's minorities, while he gaZes tran

Obituary.

DIED Vital Lcsca, at his resi- dcnces near Colt Station, St. Francis county, Arkansas, Novem- Der l, 1887, of Pneumonia.
 Deceased was about forty-seven years of age. When beardless boy, he bade farewell to sunny France. the land of his birth, and sought a home amid the wilds of AmerIca. Without friends or money, a stranger. far from home, and all that was dear to him, he commenced bis career in the new world. Not in vain did he quit his native land. Hundreds of Amerl- cans will wait the sad news back across the great waters and tell Frenchmcn they have lost a true and noble brother. A father to the orphan, a husband to the widow a friend to the poor, never did the church or any charitable lnstitation appeal to Vital Lesca Tn vain. If charity, forg,vIng heart, truth fullness and honesty are essential to eternal happiness. then, his must, in deed, be filled with joy. But alas! thu art gone, true and noble friend. No more can We grasp thy willing hand, or hear the voice we loved so we'll.
 How hard it IS to submit 10 the mysterious will of the Great Jehovob; Oh! Death, why did you steal from us our best and dearest friend?
 Our little village is draped in mourning. and the dark shadows ofsadncss and dispair has settled upon us. Mover dbd statesman, hero, or poet, dam q warmer place in the hearts of their countrymen than did Vital Lesca, with those who knew him.
 He was confined to his bed about three weeks. During hIs entire illness he was calm and signed, {, and when questioned about his hopes for the future, by his loving wife, he would close his hands to- gather and n pleasant, happy smile would light up bis conference.
 To the loving wife we would say, dry those tears of sadness, for thy husband now rests in that brighter, fairer land.
 He was buried at the LaughrIdge grave yard by the Knights of Honor, of which order he was n member in good standing.
 The procession formed at the late residence of deceased and perhaps three hundred people followed the remains 10 their last resting place.
 Farewele, noble friend, may we meet upon the pearly shores of sweet deliverance. Words are utter ly inadeqnte to praise thy many virtues. "
